About Us

Heroic Youth is a training ground to prepare youth to be faithful warriors in God's army. Youth become Heroes as they engage in servant leadership and identify and pursue their God-given individual missions.

We are Christ-Centered

At the center of everything we do and are at Heroic Youth, is our Savior, Jesus Christ. We strive to be open and encouraging to those of all faiths who would like to join us with the understanding that we will be talking of Christ, preaching of Christ, and rejoicing in Christ.

Focused on the Youth

As is stated in our mission statement, we are a training ground to prepare youth to be faithful warriors in God’s army. We believe firmly that each and every youth has a purpose and value that is God-given. Through our simulations and mentoring we are focused on strengthening these young people to build of up the kingdom of God and to fight the ultimate foe. We teach how to be strong in moments of doubt, to be masters of self, and to see through the lies of the adversary. Our primary tool in accomplishing these tasks is the outward focus of servant-leadership, aka heroism. We have seen time and again that when a youth is focused on serving others, he or she becomes powerful, centered, and more grounded in faith and in God.

By strengthening the youth, we are strengthening families, communities, and nations.

For youth, ages 13-19, we offer mentoring and training through ourYouth Leadership program. Youth can apply to be leaders with Heroic Youth every year during the winter. Those selected will then participate in learning about virtue, courage, self-mastery, and servant leadership through training, team building, and simulations. They will then get to participate inHero Quest, our three day simulation. During the second and third day of Hero Quest, they will be the primary leaders of the young knights and maidens who will attend Summit. They wrap up the year with a Royal Ball. It is a summer of immeasurable growth and fun!

Our Board of Directors

The Heroic Youth Board of Directors was formed in November 2016 in order to support and increase this amazing movement of servant-leadership in our community, and to help it to spread. Members of the board include Kirk Graves (chairman), Krista Nielsen (secretary), Richard and Emily Clawson, Jared Johnson, and Sarah McKay.

Non-profit status

In past years Heroic Youth has been a privately owned organization. We jokingly call it a “zero-profit company”. But that has finally changed! As of 2018 we have begun the process to obtain our 501(c)(3) status and our application for exemption is currently pending. We look forward to the security, stability, and longevity that this change will bring to Heroic Youth!
